A loud finale and a quiet premiere.
DEMOGRAPHIC DETAIL: For each broadcast program (or hour segment), the chart below displays preliminary live+same day key advertiser demographics (adult 18-34, 18-49 and 25-54 ratings), audience skews (women 18-49, men 18-49 and adults 50+ shares) and total viewership (thousands of people over the age of 2).
Ratings analysis and comparisons follow the chart.
FOX: THE MASKED SINGER’s season finale moved into blockbuster territory, up 0.4 to 3.1.
ABC: THE GOLDBERGS (1.1), SCHOOLED (0.9), MODERN FAMILY (1.1) and SINGLE PARENTS (0.7) were all steady. The official premiere of WHISKEY CAVALIER was soft at 0.7, and although it has the excuse that this was a rerun of the pilot that ran post-Oscars on Sunday night, that airing’s 0.8 wasn’t so overwhelming that it should have seriously dented Wednesday’s number.
CBS: SURVIVOR (1.5) and THE WORLD’S BEST (0.5) were each down 0.1.
NBC: Coming off a crossover night, CHICAGO MED (1.2) and CHICAGO FIRE (1.2) each lost 0.1, and CHICAGO PD dropped 0.3 to 1.1.
CW: New episodes aired for the first time since February 6, with steady results for RIVERDALE (0.3) and ALL AMERICAN (0.2).
There are season finales tonight for ABC’s A MILLION LITTLE PIECES and HOW TO GET AWAY WITH MURDER, as well as NBC’s THE TITAN GAMES. In addition, FX’s BETTER THINGS begins its new season.
COMPARISONS TO SIMILAR NIGHTS: Preliminary adult 18-49 live+same day ratings versus the same night last year and same night last week.
